Application filed October 7, 1920. serial No. 487,064.

This invention relatesto toys and more particularly to the propeller or fan type.

One of the principal objects of the invention consists of a toy of this character having a handle structure upon which the propeller or fan is mounted.

An additional object of the invention contemplates the provision and arrangement of an operating lever for the body having operative connection with the mounted portion of the fan.

More specifically stated the operating lever is provided with a handle portion designed for co-active relation with the body in the grasping and releasing thereof to impart the necessary motion to the propeller.

With the above and other objects in View, the invention further consists of the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully-described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through the invention.

Figure 4: is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 4-4 of'Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 1 of a modified form of our invention.

Figure 6 is a top plan view of the modification.

Figure 7 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through the modification.

Figure 8 is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 88v of Figure 7.

Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates generally the handle structure having a pocket 11 recessed in one side thereof to accommodate the intersecting meeting portions of oppositely diverging arms 12 and 13 of an operating lever structure 14: for rocking motion upon a pivot pin 15 carried at its ends within the side walls of the pocket. The body is slotted, as at 16, at right angles to the longitudinal center thereof to expose an appropriate portion (of am andrel v17 journaled within openings18 and {19in (the body and aligned adjacent the ends! of the slot." A cross pin 20, carried upon that portion of the mandrelor shaft-17 within the slot 16 is designed for abutting engagement with the foremost end wall of th'e s'lotf 16 ;to

prevent accidental displacement'of the. as?

semblage. Ahub portion 21, carried ju on the outermost projecting end of the man rel or shaft l'Z beyond the body 10; is designed for accommodation within anopening22lin the mandrel or shaft 17 within the slot.,16. facilitates the imparting of the successive to;

a propeller or fan blade 23. A fiexibleborfi tations to thepropeller or fan blade. It is to be noted that movement of the arm ,13ftoward and away fromthe handle portion or body 10 in rapid succession will 'allow ithe flexible cord 24 to wrap itself about the exposed portion of the mandrel or shaft in dif-s' ferentdirections whereby the fan blade or propeller may be actuated with such rapidity that it would appear to rotate continuously in one dlrection.

In Figures 5 to 8 inclusive of the drawings,

. acteristics of the form previously described but in contradistinction thereto has the rearmost projecting end of the body or handle obliquely disposed therefrom to provide a form of pistol grip 25. The arm 13 is also modified to the extent of shaping same after the manner of firearm triggers for coacting relation with the pistol grip handle 25. The arm 13 is reduced as at 26, upon the outer surface thereof to providea finger engaging portion whereas the opposite side edge of the arm is disposed in parallelism therewith whereby the structure of the arm will not be weakened due to the provision and arrangement of the finger engaging portion. The lever structure is mounted upon the handle and connected with the mandrel for the fan or propeller blade in the manner pursued in the preferred form of the invention.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form,,proportions and minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to makesuch changes as properly 5 fall Within the scope of the appended claims.
